Rarest Target CDs?

Which titles are toughest to find as target CDs? Let's excluse variants - I just want to know the ones which are toughest to find in ANY target form.

Ralph? Keith?

 

CSN - allies

from what i've read over the years a real tough one to get.

 

Alphaville - Forever Young
Carly Simon - Hello Big Man
Robin Gibb - Secret Agent
Oasis - Oasis (not the rock Oasis, but some band featuring Mary Hopkins)

 

Japan Led Zep IV

 

I have NEVER seen this one up for grabs.

 

Hello Big Man was recently reissued, so I kind of expected some to surface. I have had one for a number of years, but haven't seen any targets in the used bins.

 

I've never seen the following in the used bins:
Irene Cara - What a Feelin'
Veronique Sanson - Any of her 4 targets
Zebra - No Tellin' Lies
Judy Collins - Judith

 

But "LZ IV" isn't that tough to find as a target PERIOD. Remember this thread is meant to look at targets that are hard to find in ANY pressing - WG or Japan...

 

How about any of the Nonesuch Classical CDs. Those are hard to find. I've never seen a single one in a store. Drives me crazy.

 

Isn't Randy Newman's "trouble in paradise" a toughie?

 

No. The West German version is fairly common.

 

These are tough:

CSN - Allies
Robin Gibb - Secret Agent
Oasis - Oasis
Rolling Stones - Still Life
Peter Schilling - 120 Grad
Beat Street soundtrack
Clockwork Orange soundtrack
anything by Veronique Sanson

 

More toughies:
Michael Franks - The Art of Tea
ABBA - Greatest Hits 1 & 2
Van Morrison - Moondance
Eddie Rabbitt - Step by Step

 

About a year ago I remember seeing a made in the US Target of Phil Collins' No Jacket Required go for over $300 on eBay. I don't think that one is even on Ralph's site - it's that rare.

 

The Abba CDs aren't actually too tough to find - I see a lot more of them for sale than some of the early European Polar versions. And the non-target versions are actually much rarer.

 

I went to Target. They have a very bad selection of CDs. lol

 

A lot of rare ones have already been mentioned. I am still looking for that Oasis target. It's very rare.

A rare target that hasn't been mentioned is The Whispers So Good. That one rarely shows up.

 

Madonna - Like A Virgin - 32XP (not the 32XD).

 

Does it have the same target design?

 

Same colours. The 32XP catalogue number on the disc face is in a different place and the matrix number is 32XP.....

 

Many thks ... one more for my list.

 

Let us not forget the Queen titles. In my experience Abba Targets are much easier to find. Nonesuch Targets are also difficult catches.

 

Yes. I agree. Most of the Classical sections I find in used CD stores are poorly organized which makes finding them even tougher. Sometimes they're arranged by composer, performer, instrument played, conductor, etc. but usually it's a random combination of all of these...

 

It is not Harvest by Neil Young a hard one? I guess it is......

 

I've never been able to find one. Nor a Sweet Baby James target.
